VT machining offers CNC Routing for Grade 12 Titanium (UNS R53400 / Ti-0.3Mo-0.8Ni), typically supplied annealed. Cheaper Pd-free alternative to Gr7 with better high-temperature strength than Gr2.
CNC Routing Notes for Grade 12 Titanium
Routing is only economical in Grade 12 Titanium for thin sections; for thicker plate we usually recommend milling, laser or waterjet instead.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of Grade 12 Titanium weighs about 0.45 kg.

Does CNC Routing Grade 12 Titanium require dedicated tooling?
Most Grade 12 Titanium machining work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
What is CNC Routing Grade 12 Titanium and how is it done?
CNC Routing Grade 12 Titanium refers to cNC routing cuts profiles and openings in sheet and plate at high feed rates with a rotating router bit. Applied to Grade 12 Titanium — high strength-to-weight, biocompatible and corrosion resistant — VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
What surface finish is achievable on Grade 12 Titanium with CNC Routing?
Surface finish on Grade 12 Titanium is controlled to your specification; we confirm the achievable Ra against your callout.
What material thickness or size range suits CNC Routing Grade 12 Titanium?
We machine Grade 12 Titanium across a broad size range; share your part envelope for confirmation.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Routing Grade 12 Titanium?
Achievable tolerances for Grade 12 Titanium machining depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. Milling holds positional and dimensional tolerances to around ±0.01 mm, tighter with precision setups. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
